How Can I Keep My Orange Numbers Active with Mekuna's Orange Lightning Spear?

-

Hey fellow adventurers! I’ve built a Sorceress using Mekuna’s Orange Lightning Spear, and I’m facing an issue. Every time I enter a Nightmare Dungeon or Pit, I pop four potions (thanks to my Temerity pants) and start seeing those sweet orange numbers from Lightning Spear. However, I’m not sure why, but sometimes I seem to lose that ability during the run. When I drink four more potions to trigger it again and hit the button for Lightning Spear, I only see yellow and white numbers, not the coveted orange ones.

Can anyone help me figure out how to maintain those orange numbers consistently during my runs? I absolutely love this build when it’s working!

It sounds like you might be breaking the snapshot when you drink those potions again. Snapshotting only works once per instance, and if another skill activates, like Xan for an overpower, it can reset what you’ve got. Try not to use potions after you initially set it up so you can keep those orange numbers throughout your run!

Yeah, I had a similar problem. Just keep an eye on your buffs and it should work.

Got it! So, I should avoid drinking potions while the snapshot is active. That makes sense! Thanks for the tip!

Just a heads up, once you’ve set up your snapshot, you shouldn’t drink any potions afterward. It might still be working, but to see if it is, make sure to only look for the orange numbers. It’s a lot easier to tell that way!
